PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Advantage: The property has a BER rating of 'B', positioning it favorably against properties with lower ratings; annual energy costs are estimated to be €800-€1,200 compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a comparable D-rated property.
Details
- Configuration Mismatch: The property is listed as a 'Site' but has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which is an unusual configuration for a site and may indicate a pre-existing structure or a misclassification that impacts its perceived value as undeveloped land.
- Value Optimization: Given the B BER rating, there's limited immediate need for energy efficiency upgrades, but future potential for value increase would come from developing the site into a residential property that matches or exceeds local standards, a process with significant construction cost implications.
- Hypothesis: The discrepancy between the 'Site' property type and the presence of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms suggests a unique development history or potential. If the existing structure is sound and can be incorporated into a future build, it could offer a cost saving of €15,000-€25,000 compared to building from scratch on a bare site.
Amenities
Limited Transport: As a rural site in Portnoo, Co. Donegal, direct public transport is minimal; the nearest significant public transport hub would likely be further afield, requiring significant travel or private transport.
Details
- Local Lifestyle: Portnoo is known for its scenic coastal location, offering access to beaches like Narin Beach and natural beauty, but specific retail, healthcare, and extensive educational facilities are likely concentrated in larger towns like Ardara or Donegal Town, requiring travel.
- Walkability Concerns: While the immediate surroundings may offer scenic walks, the 'Site' classification implies limited established pedestrian infrastructure, and access to essential services like shops or schools would necessitate vehicular transport.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' classification and rural location in Portnoo, Co. Donegal, means that the estimated value of €461,105 for a site is disproportionately high compared to the typical amenities and connectivity found in such areas, suggesting the valuation is based on factors other than immediate access to services or transport.
